Normally by now you would see posters, commercials, CNN front page with a split screen of Sanders and Lenin. EASILY attacking him and destroying his campaign.
But the bulk of the attention is clearly centered around Trump. They are pulling at every single straw. They are giving air time to Mexico's ex-president calling him Hitler. Basically doing any possible to dis credit him no matter how far fetched it is. Now they are trying the KKK route, it is just so far out there it is laughable.
But what is not laughable is how a media that tries (and fails) to present itself as unbiased is going after him like I have never seen before. They are scared, the establishment is scare of Trump.
So again the point was the fact you would think they would be going after a self-proclaimed socialist and not a successful businessman.

oh, i see where you are coming from now. at the same time, the media does it with other ways with Sanders. The socialist label for instance, is an inflammatory one. Sanders actually refers to himself as a Democratic Socialist. we could argue that that is simply nuanced language, but nevertheless, the label carries a negative connotation and the media uses that.
the other way the media manipulates the news in favor of Hillary and against Sanders is in the reporting of delegate votes. they always count super delegates in order to make it look as if Sanders could never catch up, like currently Hillary has 505 delegates to Sanders' 55. completely misleading.
